Asphalt Saturated Kraft Paper
A single layer of cellulose fibers. The fiber source is
mostly from virgin, unbleached softwood pulp and may
have a small percentage of recycled fiber. This results in
paper having a:
•Bulky matrix.

FEDERAL SPECIFICATION
1.2 Classification.
1.2.1 Types, grades and styles. The building papers shall be of the following types,
grades and styles, as specified (see 6.2):
Width Tolerance -6 mm
• Weather barriers
must be installed in
shingle lap fashion
Design Considerations
• Paper based products allowed for “Walls” within
30º of vertical
• Paper based products are not allowed on “Roofs”
with a slope of less than 60º from horizontal
Product Exposure Limits
• Weather-resistive
barriers are used
behind:
– Three-Coat
Portland Cement
Plaster (Stucco)
– One Coat
– EIFS
Applications
• Water-resistive
barriers are also
used behind:
– Other claddings such
as Stucco Brick,
Hardboard Siding,
Vinyl, Aluminum,
Fiber Cement and
Wood Siding
System Requirements
• The success of the
system depends on all of
the components in the
building envelope
performing equally
well.
